Yes
If so, please share a link or add details about the previous project.
I used the purple knight sprite from an old unreleased project

This was a fun romp. I'd love to come back to see how it plays with the battle system tweaked to address some of the race conditions that let me blaze through the battles in its current state.
This is the start of a good rpg. Attack and heal have their uses. Run gets removed vs the Ghoul. I'd recommend having the same pixel size for your character and the background, it'll make them fit together more. Oh, and I'd recommend adding in overworld sprites for your encounters as it makes it clearer that they are encounters if you enter that space.

Also, I got stuck in a wall after fighting the ghoul twice lol.
I don't know what people's opinions of making an RPG are like, but from someone who made his own RPG engine and game (completely) from the ground up, I can say that it can take a fair bit of work to plan everything out. Overall, this was a solid and good effort for being such a short mini-adventure. It reminds me a bit like the first Dragon Quest game (which is not a bad thing). I would suggest cleaning up any bugs and problems where possible and leave this as-is without any add-ons. The basis this is has potential to become something much larger down the road, perhaps?
Notes:
Thanks and yes Hp will reset every battle. Battles will replay if you walk into it again(I didn't have time to add a randomizer.). And the button spamming will cheese it. Also totally taking the idea for the sequel MWAH HAHAHA!
Cool atmosphere to this dungeon crawl RPG! I think I might have cheesed it by clicking "attack" really fast though, oops. But you gotta do what you gotta do to save the Eternal Flame 🔥
Actually, trying to cheese that seems to result in you getting stuck in the same battle over and over. Better to just take your time and let the game play through as it should.
Somehow reminds me of Doom. Fun.
